This pack contains 165 PNG Heightmaps, which will help you create 165 realistic landscapes/terrains for your game.
Watch this NEW TRAILER to see what you can achieve with it. (landscape materials from the trailer are NOT included in this pack, so you will get only the heightmaps). All heightmaps have a resolution of 8129 x 8129 (recommended by Epic) and will allow you to create 64 square Km landscapes.
OLD TRAILER
Depending on what type of landscape you can achieve, the pack is structured in 6 categories:
- Canyon
- Dunes
- Island
- Mountains
- Rocky Desert
- Rocky Hills
Step By Step instructions of how to integrate the heightmaps into your level:
1. Install one of the FREE plugins: "Export PNG" or "ILIAD"
2. Select in the Content Browser the PNG heightmap you want to use in your project
3. Right click on the selected PNG texture (heightmap) and select Asset Actions - Export (or ILIAD Actions - Export, in case you are using ILIAD)
4. Save the PNG heightmap to your hard disk (keep the same PNG format)
5. Open the map you want to import the heightmap into and select Landscape Mode
6. Choose option Import from file and select the previously exported PNG file
7. Choose an appropriate Z-axis scale (in most cases the default 100 % scale does not look good. Unlike my first 3 volumes of heightmaps, this one is made with a Z scale between 0-260. THE NAME OF EVERY HEIGHTMAP in this pack CONTAINS A Z SCALE THAT I RECOMMEND but that also can be changed depending of your preferences)
8. Click Import
9. If the chosen height (Z-axis) of the landscape is too high or too low, you can delete the newly created landscape from World Outliner and repeat the steps starting with Step 6. Or You could also select the landscape and change the scale of the Z-axis directly from your World Outliner, so reimporting is not really necessary.
This pack contains 6 Demo Maps (1 map from each landscape category )
